\"LOAlogoBLOG\"<\/a>This is post 274 in my series on the Law of Attraction in Action. You CAN use your power to manifest your desires.. I do it every day! Read all the posts in my Law of Attraction in Action Series<\/strong><\/a> to see how.<\/p>\n

Life should to be fun If you want to enjoy it. And the more joy you have the higher your vibration. Yet when times get rough it\u2019s so easy to think of yourself as struggling, and express it out loud. I\u2019m sure that feeling is legitimate. I\u2019ve felt it too when things aren\u2019t going well. Thankfully I\u2019m enlightened enough to catch myself. It\u2019s important to do that if you want to change a situation that feels like a struggle. Struggling doesn\u2019t generate good feelings. It keeps your vibration in a negative place. The vibration from struggling will NOT lead you to manifest good stuff.<\/p>\n

Have you ever struggled to be happy? Did you get there?\u00a0 Me neither. I\u2019ve struggled to get past what I was struggling with because I wanted to be happy. And I wondered why I never got there. After all I was struggling hard to find happiness. But the Law of Attraction feels struggling a s a negative\u2014being unhappy\u2014and reciprocates with more unhappiness. Remember, the Law of Attraction doesn\u2019t interpret what you want. It just picks up on your vibration.<\/p>\n

So a mindset of struggling almost guarantees that you\u2019ll attract more struggles. And I know that\u2019s not what you want! Yet if you keep up thoughts like, \u201cI\u2019m struggling to survive,\u201d you\u2019ll probably continue to struggle to survive. I know that\u2019s not what you want! I still catch myself when I\u2019m feeling down and know how easy it is to sink into a struggling mentality. But it won\u2019t serve you well, unless you want to continue to struggle. I advise you to become vigilant when you\u2019re going through a situation that feels like a struggle and reframe what you feel.<\/p>\n

\u2022\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0I\u2019m struggling to make more money\u201d can be reframed as, \u201cI\u2019m working hard to make my life better.\u201d
\n\u2022\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0\u201cIt\u2019 a struggle to work with my injury\u201d can be \u201cMY body is healing and soon life will be better.\u201d
\n\u2022\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0\u201cIt\u2019s a struggle to work with my boss who expects too much from me.\u201d can be \u201cI must address all the work my boss dumps on me and if he gets angry I shall put out feelers for a job I\u2019ll like better.\u201d<\/p>\n

There are always options to struggling. But struggle and joy can\u2019t work together. Having joy leads you to ease your struggles and manifest a better life. So ban struggle from your vocabulary and focus on letting joy in however you can.<\/p>\n

Let Me Count the Ways, a She's appeared on hundreds of TV and radio shows, including Oprah, Howard Stern, and Good Morning America and has been quoted in dozens of publications, including the New York Times, Chicago Sun-Times, Cosmopolitan, Redbook, Marie Claire, and Men\u00b9s Health. After being a consummate People Pleaser who felt unworthy of getting her own needs met for many years, Daylle found a path of self-love that enabled her to build her self-esteem and reinvent herself into a dual career. She learned to get taken seriously without being overtly assertive when she became one of the first women to start an independent record label (on a dare!) and learned to play ball nicely and successfully in an industry dominated by men. To help independent musicians empower themselves, Daylle writes music business books for Billboard\/Random House, including the very popular Start & Run Your Own Record Labe and I Don't Need a Record Deal! Daylle's books have been translated into over 10 languages and are popular around the world. She speaks for colleges, organizations and corporations. Through her company, Project Self-Empowerment, Daylle creates programs and materials to help people empower themselves. One goal is to raise the money to self-publish her book, How Do I Love Me? Let Me Count the Ways and give it away for free in colleges and through organizations, to give thanks for all her blessings. Daylle uses her writing and speaking to help others find the kind of contentment and empowerment that she has.","url":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/author\/dschwartz"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5330","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/83"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5330"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5330\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5332,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5330\/revisions\/5332"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5330"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5330"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5330"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
